E-Safety

Safer Internet Day 2019 will be celebrated globally on Tuesday 5th February with the slogan: ‘Together for a better Internet’.

Coordinated in the UK by the UK Safer Internet Centre the celebration sees hundreds of organisations get involved and join a national conversation about using technology responsibly, respectfully, critically and creatively.

The day offers the opportunity to highlight positive uses of technology and to explore the role we all play in helping to create a better and safer online community. It calls upon young people, parents, carers, teachers, social workers, law enforcement, companies, policymakers, and wider, to join together and help to create a better internet.

Here at Bishops Down Primary the children are busily recording their digital use over the week preceding SID and will attempt to cut down their screen time over the week of Safer Internet Day. We will also be holding a competition to design a Safer Internet poster or create a short video advert promoting the theme.

Finally, classes in Key Stage 2 classes will also be voting for new their Digital Leaders.

Social communication on line plays a big part in all our lives, including young people. Please see the links below on how this important subject is being discussed in school and how you can be involved and better informed.
